Printed Circuit Board Labels

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in electronic equipment withstand some extreme conditions during the manufacturing process. They are exposed to intense temperatures and harsh pressurized solvents, but they have to stand up to such conditions without igniting, blackening, fading, or peeling off. ARMOR thermal transfer print technology is the most reliable solution to meet the challenges of printed circuit board labels.

ARMOR AXR EL ribbons for the printing of printed circuit board labels remain legible despite all of the stresses they may encounter throughout the life cycle of the finished product, such as UV exposure, humidity, temperature variations, and friction. In addition, ARMOR technology delivers the miniature labels that PCB components require, holding large amounts of data in a small space.

ARMOR inks are formulated in accordance with the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) and the WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC). They also meet restrictions of halogen compounds and the UL standard on printed label durability.

Resin inks (the ARMOR AXR® series) with synthetic labels can offer heat resistance to 356°F (180°C) as well as resistance to solvents
